Using the System Password
After a system password is assigned, only those who know the password have
full use of the system. When the
System Password option is set to Enabled ,
the system prompts you for the system password after the system starts.
Assigning a System Password
Before you assign a system password, enter the System Setup program and
check the
System Password option.
When a system password is assigned, the setting shown for the System
Password option is Enabled . If the setting shown for the Password Status is
Unlocked , you can change the system password. If the Password Status
option is Locked , you cannot change the system password. When the system
password feature is disabled by a jumper setting, the system password is
Disabled , and you cannot change or enter a new system password.
When a system password is not assigned and the password jumper on the
system board is in the enabled (default) position, the setting shown for the
System Password option is Not Enabled and the Password Status field is
Unlocked . To assign a system password:
1
Verify that the Password Status option is set to Unlocked .
2
Highlight the System Password option and press <Enter>.
3
Type your new system password.
You can use up to 32 characters in your password.
As you press each character key (or the spacebar for a blank space), a
placeholder appears in the field.
The password assignment is not case-sensitive. However, certain key
combinations are not valid. If you enter one of these combinations, the
system beeps. To erase a character when entering your password, press
<Backspace> or the left-arrow key.
NOTE:
To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press
<Enter> to move to another field, or press <Esc> at any time prior to
completing step 5.
